And the more porus rock from marcosrocks accepts the good stuff live rock that leans on it. I put in 50lb of Marco Rock, the just bought 3 pieces of live rock (about 15 lbs) and leaned them against the base rock. within 3 months, all the color and life spread to the base rock. And this base...

Sorry to steal this thread, but I always see talk of aptasia, but I have no idea what it looks like and have been unable to find any pictures to help me recognize it. Maybe with 2 peppermint shrimp I have never seen it before

I have seen lots of ATO controllers, but most require the water source to be at the same level as the sump. I know that I can put a pump in the RO storage container and pump it to the tank, but all the controllers I ahve seen have the head, level senors and power in a unit that must be at the...

I have owned saltwater tanks for the last 12 years, mostly FOWLR and aggressive FO, so I am not a newbie in the saltwater game (I have the maxed out credit card to prove it.) My current 90 is going to be reef, and with 100lb of live rock, and good decent startup lighting (384PC) , I am looking...

The main return is going back the through the built in overflow, its hiding the new UV 3/4" return that is going to be challenge.

Well, I think I am going to be doing abit of both. I am going to switch all the return plumbing to flexible 3/4" tubing, put a T off the pump and a flowmeter, then have 2 returns to the tank, one from the main pump T and the other from the exit tube of the UV Sterilizer. My biggest challeng is...

That what I thought (about the 2 T's), I was just trying at all costs to not run another line back. The tank is a room divider so any lines I add are visable instead of going back through the drilled return.

I understand what you are saying. Attached is a diagram of what you are talking about and what others have said. My question is in the diagram, the 2nd T out of the V (Its 18w) (yellow line on diagram. What stops the main pump flow (black line) for trying to go into the top of the unit.

If I were to T it off the return pump, would the T at the output of the UV, cause a problem or the other end of the main tee cause backflow into the output of the UV?

It is only a few weeks old. If I raise it of the bottom it quiets right down, so I need something between the base and the bottom of the sump.

I am having some small/annoying pump vibration issues (mag 7 / Mag 5) in my sump. The sump itself is sitting on high density rubber padding, so the sound isn't being transfered to the tank stand. It is comming from the pump itself, if I suspend the pump off the bottom is quiets down. What can I...

I have a 90 Gallon Reef Ready AGA Tank, and a Aquaclear 200 sump below the tank. My return pump is a Mag 7 that also passes through a turbo Twist 6X (18W) UV Sterilizer . I figure with about 4 feet of head going back to the tank and the 3 90 degree bends on the way back the flow rate is probably...

I am in search of a quiet inline/external pump. I am using a 90 Gallon Reef ready going into a CPR1000 Wet Dry. I have a 3/4 bulkhead coming out of the sump side that the pump can go into. I am going back to the tank with a UV sterizer inline. Right now I have a Mag 7 in the sump submerged...

I want the canister for the water flow (it puts out a lot more than most power heads), plus a place for carbon and phosphate remover,etc. Its a fluval 404 under the stand now. I was alsot figuring that could be my pump back to the tank since it so powerful.

I am not a newbie to Salwalter, Have 2 FOWLR 55 gallon tanks, both with Canister filters. (let not get into the canister vs wet dry discussion here). Anyway I am upgrading to a 75 drilled tank, I still want to use my canister filter on it, what are some suggestions on how to do that. I want to...
